ellen_fremedon, M1, and M2; we were sitting in the 2nd balcony, which required taking the elevator up to the 7th floor.
Here's the NPR Tiny Desk Concert to give you an idea of what the musical was like.
The show is without intermission, and only about 90 minutes. The actors play one main role, but double and triple other roles to fill out the story.
